Pimp My Footman 2

Those who’ve been around the custom game scene since the Warcraft III days may be filled with nostalgia after checking out this week’s featured Arcade game. Inspired by a Warcraft III map, Pimp My Footman has the player taking control of a handful of lowly basic infantry units. These solders can then be ‘pimped out’ and given specialized attacks as well as boosted attributes. The choices you make are reflected by your army’s appearance. Increasing your footmen’s health increases their size, increasing their armor adds shoulder plating, and increasing their damage changes the weapons they wield. With only a limited amount of minerals to start with, the challenge lies in deciding on what abilities to focus on and discovering new upgrade combinations.

Be default, you and an ally face off against up to six other teams of two players each. Your goal is to take out opposition bases by destroying the four Shield Generators that protect them. You acquire resources by killing other footmen and by killing creatures scattered around the map. Two towers in the middle of the map provide bonus resources to whatever team holds them; keeping the central action constant as the team who gains resources the fastest will gain the upper hand.[1]
